The Senegalese Liberal Party (Parti libéral sénégalais) was a political party in Senegal from 1998 to 2003, led by Ousmane Ngom.
The party was born through a split from the Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS). Ngom resigned from the PDS on June 11, 1998,[1] after the party leadership was rearranged by PDS Secretary-General Abdoulaye Wade on June 5 and Ngom lost his position as deputy leader of the party and became permanent secretary instead. Ngom announced the creation of the PLS[1][2] on June 18.[2][3]
In the parliamentary election held on 29 April 2001, the PLS won 0.9% of the popular vote and 1 out of 120 seats; Ngom was the only PLS candidate to win a seat, which he gained through national list proportional representation.[4]
In 2003 the party merged with PDS.[3]
